Music

Music at Trinity flourishes beyond the classroom. Led by a team of experienced and ambitious teachers and in partnership with our colleagues from One Education Music students participate in a broad and varied range of teacher-led musical ensembles, student-led bands and informal music groups. We have many extra-curricular music ensembles including three choirs, orchestra, stage band, steel pans, guitar ensemble, brass, woodwind and string groups as well as a growing provision for pop/rock and music technology – the ensembles are thoroughly enjoyed by all, and attendance is rewarded with Trinity Credits.

Almost 400 of our students take advantage of our extensive range of peripatetic music tuition delivered by expert instrumental and vocal tutors, including piano, strings, brass, woodwind, guitar, bass guitar, singing, drums and steel pans and successfully take graded exams on their instruments. All lessons are timetabled on rotation during the school day and are accessible to all, regardless of income.

We are proud of our three school choirs who are regularly invited to perform at events across the city. Our school Orchestra and Stage Band are thriving. We rehearse together weekly after-school to prepare for our annual concerts and performances at events such as Open Evening, Presentation Evening and collaborations with our Manchester partners such as Manchester University, RNCM and One Education Music. Our highly successful steel band entertain us at many school events and had the privilege to perform for the Earl of Wessex when he visited the school in 2018. Over 60 students from all our large ensembles are heading to Holland for a Concert Tour in summer 2023.

The music and drama departments collaborate regularly and in recent years have produced sell-out performances of Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, Oliver!, The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock in 2022.
